MSE News: Revealed – the top 10 high street stores for haggling

I have to say that I find it extremely hard to take, at face value, the figure of 41% of people who tried haggling in Tesco succeeding.

I think the definition of 'haggling' would have to be extremely wide for this to be correct.

I also suspect that, even with the widest possible definition, it would only apply only to a tiny proportion of the goods they sell.

I disagree with the point of if it's on sale that opens the door to more reductions.

A lot of retailers (including some of the top ones mentioned in the list) will be making a loss on sale items as loss leaders, and so will be much more reluctant to lower the prices further.

This is utter rubbish. It may have been true that haggling worked at Currys in the past but I can tell you for certain that this is no longer allowed - KTF is correct that they will price match as long as you prove it

I know you commented this a long time ago but that's not true. You just need to ask the right person. The guy I spoke to worked pretty hard to put the sale through the till in such a way to give me a discount on both the warranty AND the laptop.
Got a tenner of each, so £20 basically just for asking. I think that's decent on a laptop that was already on sale.
